Here is how I did that same thing: 1) bring up new server in Loc B. Install DNS and configure as secondary for the zones (so it'll have a good copy of the data). Force it to sync.
2) On thayt same server, go in to each zone and change it from secondary to primary. 3) On the pre-existing Loc B server, change it's master IP from the old Loc A server to the new Loc B server. Resync existing Loc B server (just to be sure). 4) Go into your registrar's 'tools' and change the IP of the Loc A server to the ip of the new Loc B server (that way all of your zones work with no extra effort). 5) Take down the Loc A server. Rename (if necessary) the new Loc B server to match as needed. Make adjustmenst to reverse DNS etc as needed. ************* Dave Heritage dave at onx dot cc ************* -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of calvis Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2004 12:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] DNS question I have a primary DNS server at location A. And I have 2 secondary DNS servers at location B. We want to phase out location A, and thus I need to convert one of my secondary servers at location B to a primary DNS server. All my DNS servers are running MS DNS. How do I go about converting one of my secondary to a primary at location B and retire the primary DNS at location A? Thanks for any tips, hints, and suggestions.
